Great car Budge, must be rare these days! Looks immaculate, were those wheels the factory replacement for the Minilite?

Lovely car Budge.

My Dad worked for Rootes/Hillman all his life and sold these new back in the day. I remember him getting a right strop on 'cos someone had spent ages polishing up the flat black 'bonnet' on the one in the showroom

RW71 I think those wheels were Alloys made by Dunlop I had a set on my 3.0GT

But I wait to be corrected

Just found this short article on Avenger Tigers, it makes for an interesting read. It also mentions the wheels too. I reckon they really suit the car.

You could get a two-door Avenger from about 1973-on? About a year after the Tiger was made I think.

Avengers were sold in the US as the Plymouth Cricket and in some other countries as a Dodge. So yes they really are a MOPAR.
